Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds a section to Basic Law: The Government stating that an MK will not be able to serve as Prime Minister for more than two consecutive terms of office or eight consecutive years. The tenure of the current Prime Minister will not end because of this limit. The limit will apply to governments formed starting from the 26th Knesset. The explanatory notes state that the goal is to preserve democratic turnover in the office and to prevent prolonged concentration of governing power in a single person.
